I recently had the opportunity to spend time with a friend who just needed a friend. Not advice, not answers but just a friend. Someone who was not connected to their everyday life but to who they are as a person. This made me think about all of the people in the world that are going through life and their everyday activities without the safety of an earthly confidant. Someone to be there, be real, be clear and be refreshing. What I discovered in this time with my friend is that, I too am like he is. Sometimes almost invincible, sometimes a product of the daily grind, sometimes king of the hill, and sometimes king of pain. But with all of the sometimes one thing is clear… some and time will all be apart of my everyday and one thing that makes a difference is relationships.

I encourage you to find, build and cultivate your relationships. Not just the ones that get you the money, the pleasure or the opportunities. I am talking about the ones that work best in all situations: laughter, tears, success and failures. Yes, they are real. Yes, they are out there.
